[Touya's handwriting is very neat and tidy and small, with crisp lines. He crosses his uppercase Ts with an upwards slant. There are lots of snowflakes doodled in the upper corners of the pages, like a border. There are also ink smudges and splotches around the beginning of the first line, indicating that he was hesitating and looking for words,

That's why I never study in the library.

[He seems flustered, like he's not used to people answering him]

I, well. That wasn't meant as a wholly negative thing. Quiet is nice. More of an observation than anything.

[notshiseido]

Quiet is sometimes nice...but sometimes it gets too quiet.

[icyhowitis]

Really? I suppose that's so. I must just be accustomed to what most would consider 'too' quiet.

[camelliamagic]

I suppose people have taken to doing their last minute exam preparation in the common rooms and dorms so they won't get shushed for discussing things.

[icyhowitis]

I suppose that's true as well. I'm fairly used to studying alone, so I suppose the thought of taking noise into account would never have crossed my mind.

[camelliamagic]

Oh, does the noise bother you when you're trying to study?

[icyhowitis]

Sometimes. I've learnt to ignore a lot of things that bother most people when they're studying, I find.

[beanie_everyday]

That is sort of he point of a library, mate.

[icyhowitis]

As I said before, it wasn't a complaint. Though perhaps I should have said 'still', rather than 'quiet,' as it wasn't the lack of noise I was observing but the lack of fellow students.

[beanie_everyday]

I'm too burned out for studying. I think I'll just wing it tomorrow.

[icyhowitis]

Best of luck with that. If you don't mind my curiosity, any particular subject you expect to be 'winging it' more or less for?

ME! YOU'RE MISSING ME, YOU DAFTIE I told you not to study in the bloody LIBRARY it's so BORING you'll just depress yourself! You should study in the Quidditch stands and then when you get bored you can just LARK OFF for a spin and come back when you feel better!
